The director of the picture is Nikolai Arcel. He is known for the project "Royal Romance" (2012). In addition, Nikolai worked on the script for the films "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (2009), "Ronal the Barbarian" (2011) and "Mysterium. The Beginning" (2013). The main role of the shooter Roland Disken was performed by the African-American actor Idris Elba (in the original source, his character has a light skin tone).

Idris Elba himself previously participated in the films "Rock and Roll Man" (2008), "Long Road to Freedom" (2013), "Breedless Animals" (2015), as well as in the TV series "Luther" ("Golden Globe" in 2012 as "Best Actor in a Miniseries or TV Movie"). The film also starred: Matthew McConaughey ("Dallas Buyers Club" (2013, "Oscar" for "Best Actor"), "Interstellar" (2014), the series "True Detective"), Nicholas Hamilton ("Captain Fantastic" (2016)), Dennis Haysbert ("Love and Basketball" (2000), the series "24 Hours", "Backstrom"), Katheryn Winnick (series "Vikings").
